Yalda Zamiri

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will work from home 3 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will source 1 meal(s) each day from local producers.

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

I will spend 10 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

I will spend 10 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

Both system and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.
